Hi Everyone,

I am attempting to get the logic of something figured out and I
thought someone might be able to confirm what I'm thinking

I want to be able to display something like an image of a turkey
during the month of november from now until I'm dead. I was playing
around with mktime and it showed very different time stamps for
11/1/07 and 11/1/08 so I can't set it to compare specifically to the
timestamp.. But, would I be able to have it evaluate the string
stored in php as 11/1/07 and create a timestamp to compare todays
date to, and if it matches within the month, have it display the
turkey? and if not, have it display a different graphic?

I'm attempting to be able to make small changes to my website without
having to remember to do them or change them

I hope I've made enough sense that someone can point me in the right
direction

Thanks for looking!

Errr... Never mind... Soon as I hit send I got a brain storm... I
just do this:

<?PHP

$month = date('m');
if ($month == "11"){
echo "turkey";
}else{
echo "No turkey";

}
?>

Or something similar, I'll try and feather it out and see how it
works for multiple holidays (IE: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New
Years, Halloween etc. etc.)

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Then you'll find out he was
allergic and is hospitalized. See? No good deed goes unpunished....

Well, I hope this makes sense:

<?php
if (date('m') == 11) {
echo '<img src="turkey.png" />';
}
?>

Sorry, that should've been a lower-case M.

<?
if(date("m") == "11") {
// Display turkey

When you stop paying for hosting, the application get's the idea when
it's bits go poof!

If anyone ever noticed, my web site (http://sperling.com) has a tree
on it that changes with the seasons. I use:

$dates = getdate();
$month = $dates['mon'];
$w = "http://www.sperling.com/css/seasons/";
switch( $month )
{
case "03": case "04": case "05":
$var = $w . "spring.jpg";
break;
case "06": case "07": case "08" :
$var = $w . "summer.jpg";
break;
case "09": case "10": case "11":
$var = $w . "fall.jpg";
break;
case "12": case "01": case "02":
$var = $w . "winter.jpg";
$break;
}
echo($var);

And this code is called from within my css file for a background
image. Yes, I use variables in css.

Cheers,

tedd

Yep, that will do it.

I wonder if they can legally bill your "estate"? Or if the estate is liable.

Well, I code all of my applications to receive RFID signals, and I
had a RFID transmitter embedded into me that gets powered by the
electricity that my body generates, so when it can no longer get that
signal, the application is designed to shut down and put up a message
that says "Due to the death of my creator I quit, have a nice day!"

Hi tedd,

That's actually where I got the idea, just couldn't remember who on
what list said they did it using variables in css is it as easy as
just putting in a quick <?PHP echo "background: $date"; ?> in the
css? or is it more complicated?

you have to configure apache to handle css files as php files.
also you have to send headers including content-type set to text/css

and then you can script your css

Or, in the event that you're unable to set MIME types and parsing,
you can just add the appropriate <style></style> tags and then
<? include('css/style.css'); ?>

That's one way.

Here's another:

http://sperling.com/examples/pcss/

As Zoltán suggested, but didn't elaborate, you
can drop a .htaccess file into your root
directory that contains:

<FilesMatch "\.(css|style)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

and then use <?php whatever you want ?> inside the css file.

This makes things easier when trying to change
constants like colors, or dealing with the
box-model problem, or rules that are dependant
upon other rules; or really neat automatic image
width/height determinations for images on the fly
(think about that). :-)

There are a lot of opportunities to add
functionality to css that apparently has not been
addressed in any documentation I've been able to
find. I can't be the first down this street, but
for certain it hasn't been traveled often.

Cheers,

tedd
